Located in Buffalo, New York, Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) is an NCI designated comprehensive cancer center and is a recognized leader in surgical robotics, vitamin D research, immunotherapy and vaccine therapy, tumor microenvironment and cancer prevention, and the development and testing of new agents and technology.

Reporting to the President and CEO of RPCI, the Chair, Department of Dermatology serves as the leader for clinical, educational, research, professional, and administrative activities for the Department. The Chairperson will bring a dynamic energy to the Institute increasing scientific collaboration in basic, translational and clinical research; develop a robust clinical dermatology service including Mohs surgery and in-patient consultation service; and develop an outreach strategy to position Roswell Park to be the region's premier provider of oncologic dermatology service. The Institute is committed to building a world class cutaneous oncology program with a significant allocation of appropriate resources including additional scientists with physician investigators, laboratory space, support personnel and equipment as needed.

Successful candidates will bring strong basic, translational and/or clinical research expertise in the field of dermatology as a clinician, researcher and educator, preferably for an NCI designated cancer center or a nationally recognized academic medical center.

This position requires an M.D. or M.D./PhD degree, certification by the American Board of Dermatology and eligibility to obtain a license to practice medicine in the State of New York. ID#154811

Shriners Hospitals for Children and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine

A postdoctoral position is available in the Research Dept. at the Shriners Hospitals for Children, and the Dept. of Surgery at the University of Cincinnati. The position is offered in the laboratories of Steven Boyce, PhD (http://surgery.uc.edu/content/Research/Research_Faculty_Boyce.html), and Dorothy Supp, PhD. The fellow will join our continuing program to develop engineered skin substitutes with hair follicles and sebaceous glands. The position will be supported for an initial period extending through December, 2017.

The successful candidate will isolate keratinocytes, fibroblasts, dermal papilla cells and/or sebocytes from human skin tissue, expand them in culture, prepare engineered skin constructs of novel compositions, and evaluate both microscopic anatomy (immunohistochemistry, image analysis) and molecular gene expression (qPCR, microarray, RNA-seq, western blots) by a variety of standard methods. Constructs will be transplanted to murine models for quantification of hair follicle neogenesis and trichogenesis, together with molecular analyses.
A working knowledge of the cell biological and biochemical analyses of cutaneous parenchymal cells (keratinocytes, fibroblasts, melanocytes, dermal papilla cells) is required. Further, the preferred candidate will have extensive experience in primary isolation of skin cells of multiple types. Candidates with experience in developmental mechanisms of human hair will be given special consideration.

Minimum Requirements:

• PhD in Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology or related fields; or MD in Dermatology, Plastic Surgery or related disciplines.
• Minimum of 3 years research experience in cell biology.
• Prior successful working experience using a wide range of cellular biology techniques and protein biochemistry techniques.
• Experience in keratinocyte and fibroblast cell culture.
• Comfortable and experienced using mice as a model system.
• Excellent communication skills and fluency in the English language.
• The ability to work independently in the research laboratory, manage data and make reports.

Salary range is commensurate with skills and experience.

Application Deadline Date: Open until filled.

Interested candidates should submit their CV by email, along with the names and contact information of three references, to:

A postdoctoral research fellow position is available in the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology at the University of California, Irvine. The position is offered in the laboratory of Dr. Scott Atwood (http://www.atwoodlab.com). The fellow will join our efforts to interrogate how skin and hair follicle stem cells maintain their pluripotency. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree, a minimum of two years research experience in stem cell biology, proficient in using the English language, well-organized, and highly motivated. Candidates with experience in stem cell culture (ESC or iPSC) will be given special consideration.

Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience using bioinformatic techniques.
• Comfortable using the mouse as a model system.
• Ability to work independently within the research laboratory.
• Publication record in stem cell biology or skin and hair follicle development.

A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. The position is offered in the laboratories of Drs. Peter J. Koch and Maranke Koster (www.medschool.ucdenver.edu/PeterKoch, www.medschool.ucdenver.edu/MarankeKoster ). The fellow will join our efforts to develop
human cell-based disease models for inherited skin disorders (ectodermal dysplasias) using stem cell (iPSC) technology. The position will initially be offered for a period of 2 years.

The successful candidate will optimize existing methods to generate keratinocytes from patient-derived iPS cells. 2D and 3D cultures of these keratinocytes will then be used to analyze disease mechanisms. Standard procedures in cell biology (e.g. proliferation, migration, cell-cell adhesion, cell-ECM adhesion), biochemistry (e.g. Western blotting, immunoprecipitation) and transcriptome analysis will be employed.

A working knowledge of the cell biological and biochemical analysis of keratinocytes is required. Further, the successful candidate will have extensive experience in primary keratinocyte culture. Candidates with experience in stem cell culture (ESC or iPSC) will be given special consideration.

Minimum Requirements:
• PhD in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or similar fields.
• Minimum of 3 years research experience in a cell biology
• Prior successful working experience using a wide range of cellular biology techniques and protein biochemistry techniques.
• Experience in keratinocyte cell culture
• Comfortable using mice as a model system
• Excellent communication skills using the English language.
• The ability to work independently within the research laboratory.

The Department of Dermatology at Stanford University Medical Center is offering a 1-2 year fellowship in Cutaneous Lymphoma. This position will provide a unique, broad experience in Cutaneous Lymphoma with leadership roles in patient care, clinical trials and various research projects. The fellow will also collaborate with Pathology, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology and the Blood and Marrow Transplant program. Graduates from U.S. accredited medical schools are eligible to apply. Preference will be given to those who have completed a residency in internal medicine or dermatology and have an interest in an academic career. Applicants who have completed their internship year and have yet to undergo a formal residency are also encouraged to apply.
